First Look - AVENGERS X-SANCTION Variant

Marvel chief creative officer Joe Quesada has illustrated a variant cover for December's Avengers: X-Sanction #1, seen just to the right, and it looks like Captain America and Cable are doing a weapons switcheroo.
The four-issue miniseries brings Cable back to the Marvel Universe after his death in last year's "Second Coming" crossover. Earlier this week, Marvel debuted "comic shop variant" covers for Avengers: X-Sanction #1 by Carlo Pagulayan and Bryan Hith. Newsarama talked to writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ed McGuinness about the series here.
Here's official word from Marvel:
Cable’s back and he’s got just 24 hours to destroy the Avengers! Except one Avenger won’t go down without a fight, as Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Marvel CCO & legendary artist Joe Quesada’s Avengers X-Sanction #1 variant cover. Missing since Second Coming, Cable must resort to dire measures in order to save the future – even if that means taking on the heaviest hitters in the Marvel Universe. But how is he back? And can he take on all of Earth’s Mightiest alone? Find out as superstar creators Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness kick off the countdown to the 2012’s status quo-shattering event in the Avengers: X-Sanction #1 Quesada Variant!
